RE: define datastructure?

A small mistake in the above comment..!Data Structures are of two types...They are 1.(linear) Sequential -- linkedlists,trees 2.(Non-linear) Non-Sequential -- Arrays ( Since U can access any value directly from an Array Ex: arr[2],arr[7] )But in linked lists u should go one by one to access a particular location..! hence it is sequential..!

RE: define datastructure?

The most common organization for components is a linear structure. A structure is linear if it has these 2 properties:

Property P1: Each element is `followed by' at most one other element.
Property P2: No two elements are `followed by' the same element.
